Re: indent with emacs batch mode

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Alex,

I’m glad that my public display of my lack of skill with Emacs batch
mode has prompted you to come up with a much nicer solution that
actually works :)

My first version actually did use “re-search-forward” and required the
user to input both file name and package variable.  I had hoped to
simplify this a little by using “guix-location”.

Thanks for the code and the example invocation!

Guix still comes with a “.dir-locals.el” that specifies the indentation
rules, doesn’t it?  Can we use that?
